Drink at least 8 glasses of lukewarm water, four glasses of of lime mixed hot water for 3 days, ask someone to sponge your body with cold water twice daily for three days while rubbing your feet. See if you have papaya your body will recover from pain fast. If you get dry cough on 4 day it is a good sign.

Massage with your thumbs from the mid points of the shoulder blades on both sides towards the lower back of your head up to lower level of the ears. Use oil or water for massage. Rotate your head clockwise and anticlockwise, forward and down, left and right a few times. Do for 5 to 10 times morning and evening.
Give pressure the dipping point on the portion between the thumb and the index finger on the back of the palm. Press and release for 15 times where the pain is more. This will solve the problem. Further do some wrist rotation exercise. Consult after 5 days. For further guidance and treatment.

Domt worry viatmin deficiencies are quite common in indian population.
Vitamin b12 deficiency is common in vegans. Take supplements for it and incorporate vitamin b12 rich food.
Vitamin d deficiency occurs due to inadequate dietary intake of vitamin and less sun exposure. Calcirol sachet as prescribed should be continued. Your headache on sun exposure could be due to migraine too. Continue healthy diet and exercises. Eggs will not cause such deficiency. If headache persists consult again.

Fever is not considered medically significant until body temperature is above 100.4 F (38 C). Fever serves as body's natural defences against bacteria and viruses which cannot live at higher temperatures. Also, the body's defence mechanisms seem to work more efficiently at a higher temperature
-Fevers of 104 F (40 C) or higher may be dangerous and demand immediate treatments like:
-Acetaminophen (dolo-650 mg) twice or thrice can be used to lower a fever . Aspirin should not be used for fever in children/ adolescents or during a viral illness.
-Wear loose fitting clothes and don’t overdress. Overdressing can cause temperature to rise further.
-Tepid water (85 F [30 C]) baths may help bring down a fever
-The body should be cooled with a wet sponge.
-A fever can cause severe dehydration. Drink plenty of fluids.. Have citrus fruits, particularly Vitamin C rich ones like mausami, Amla juice etc.
-Take light and easily digestible home cooked meals like sprouts.avoid outside food
-Wash hands frequently with soap and water especially after returning from public places or public transport.
-Further therapy depends on the cause of fever like urinary infection/typhoid or malaria/dengue infection and the accompanying symptoms that need to be investigated and treated accordingly

You simply needs supplements to boost your body functioning. Often working mothers are under stress and not able to take care of themselves. Kindly consult for complete advice about what all you need to do according to your reports suggesting.

What is the severity of pain? is the pain continuous or intermittent? is it pulsating? since pain is a complex phenomenon, there are many treatment options medications, therapies, and mind-body techniques.
Apart from painkillers, there is evidence that certain dietary supplements and vitamins can help with certain types of pain. Fish oil is often used to reduce pain associated with swelling.
A therapeutic diet complemented with few medications for pain management can also work wonders. Being also a general physician and registered dietitian, I prescribe both evidence based herbal as well as allopathic medicines complementing with dietary guidelines and home remedies carefully personalized for each individual patient.
